Sharper is charged with two counts of rape by use of drugs, four counts of furnishing a controlled substance and one count of possession of a controlled substance, all felonies, the prosecutor's office said.

The charges stem from alleged incidents involving two women in Los Angeles in October and January.

In total, Sharper is accused of drugging 11 women and raping seven women across four states. Law enforcement in Arizona, Nevada and Louisiana are all actively investigation claims against Sharper.

The WDSU I-Team learned Wednesday that New Orleans investigators talked to a St. Bernard Parish deputy in connection to the simple rape case against Sharper.

Sgt. Brandon Licciaradi's lawyer said detectives wanted information and asked about text messages sent from Sharper to Licciardi. His lawyer says the St. Bernard cop introduced Sharper to the alleged victim at a Warehouse District bar the night the alleged incident happened.

Licciardi's lawyer says his client is not a target of any investigation.

If Sharper is convicted in the Los Angeles case, he could face 30 years in prison. Sharper's lawyer said she is hopeful her client will be fully exonerated.
